this strange planet heart

each death is a language

and the river babbles long

under the water

small puddles of rain

palmtrees bowing

heads to the rain

coffee later

and serious discussion

concerning your

exploding island

this morning orange juice

and children weaving

headless through the snow

the snowmen slightly melted

point out to one another

so many things

we could be doing

and yet here we are

and the sun plunges

and the crickets begin

to piece the night together

today all my bittersweet words

between the slices of bread

a fat story has wormed its way inside

the symbolism of the snake

is easy enough

but the symbolism

of the penis of the snake

is a little harder

I smeared honey on my breasts

and laid down in the forest

and all of my suitors came

in the shape of ants and bees

appearing noticeably

the barely noticed

appearances

the deliberate slide

of one sheet

below the other

between his songs

the musician babbled earnestly

except there were no songs

and he wasn't a musician

he waited in the hallway

for the stoplight to change

angry sneezes from down the corridor

all night we rode

along on the bed

only stopping occasionally

to replace a flat tire

everything blurring into pornography

licking the chocolate off of her tongue

last call

the butterfly

closes up

its wings

for the night

the road waited all night

for the first bus of morning

come here boy I whistle

my tail beginning to wag

he examined

the woman across the street

through his microscope

down inside their chests

hearts opening

like clams

the chef asks the cow

which salad would be best

to serve it with

we celebrated his birthday

every year by feeding him

a smaller version of himself

the humans had dammed

the beavers in on all sides

between the slices of bread

of the woman's sandwich

a fat story had wormed its way inside

spiderwords curved towards light

reflected in my icecubes
the sun melting down

amid the garnishes

in the bloody mary

one medium sized fish

the long nose

of the bathroom faucet

dripping
